Beatriz Pacheco Mr. Bahari Geology CP‚ Period 1 08 January 2013 NASA spends about nine point nine twenty eight billion dollars per year. I agree that spending that much amount of money is worth it and at the same time it is not worth it because of the following. I agree that it is worth the expense because with mars exploration we can discover new things in space. It may be possible to even discover other living creatures that yet they are undiscovered. It is great to send people to space

more about Earth (ex: planetary atmospheres‚ comets and the early earth‚ the Sun and it’s influence on climate) - technological spin off. Space exploration requires progress in engineering that is often useful elsewhere. Think satellites for communication and anti-adhesive pans. Think computers and super pure materials - satisfy curiosity: all humans are curious. When we lived in caves it was a life saving attitude‚ but we still have this need in us.

It is your daily 6 foot long list of tasks that NASA has sent you after they finished their daily gripe session about being overworked‚ understaffed‚ and underpaid. NASA sure knew how to treat the three Skylab crews. Team 1‚ led by Conrad‚ seemed to really exhibit E-to-P and P-to-O expectancies. Conrad sold the crew and NASA on the team giving up their scheduled day off to catch up on experiments and

The dramatic change in direction of the National Aeronautics Space Administration outlines a key issue within today’s society. In 2011‚ NASA decided‚ after much deliberation‚ to disband their space shuttle program. The reason related to the cost of maintenance and funding of the program. NASA currently focused on deep space exploration rather than more reasonable and cost effective trips to the International space station. However‚ commercialization of space travel and development of a space destination
